George Ruiz, MD, is a board-certified cardiologist who cares for men and women. He specializes in general heart care including treatment for heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, adult congenital heart disease and heart disease in pregnancy.
He has a clinical interest in treating heart failure and managing ventricular assist devices. “I love getting people back to who they were and coaching them to re-connect with their goals,” he says. “Heart failure routinely limits patients — I get excited when we can give patients back what heart failure has taken from them. It’s inspiring to see patients reclaim their lives.” He adds, “There’s something magical about a second chance. I always wanted to be part of team that made second chances possible.”

The Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce Women’s Networking Committee is holding their first woman’s networking luncheon program for 2023 Tuesday, January 31st from 12 noon to 1 pm at Top of the 80’s Restaurant in Hazleton.

The program will begin promptly at 12 noon and will include lunch. Our guest speaker will be Leo Gilroy, Director, Strategy and Innovation from NEPIRC and he will present on Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and Self-awareness. Leading with emotional intelligence requires the ability to understand employees’ viewpoints, including how their experiences might have informed their perspectives, and demonstrates a willingness to see the world as others see it — without standing in judgment. Leader effectiveness is determined by how well they understand themselves, their awareness of how others view them and how they navigate the resulting interactions. Building those skills requires a willingness to learn and recognize your own emotional triggers and weaknesses. Therefore, intentionally increasing self-awareness helps improve emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness.
